When people think of NASCAR, many think of cars racing around a track. But those with a more intimate knowledge of the sport understand that there is much more to it. The Nuts and Bolts of NASCAR uncovers everything you need to know to properly watch and enjoy the sport.

He reveals the best practices for watching it on TV, how to experience a NASCAR race in person, and much more.
